Three groups received therapy sessions using the three different behavioral readjustment programs namely: coarticulation program of stromsta, smith accent method, and Van Riper's non-avoidance program. All patients attended individual therapy sessions, twice a week. the fourth group was a control one. All patients were assessed at the interview, after 8 weeks, and after 16 weeks
A multidimensional assessment protocol was used for assessment of all patients. It included elementary diagnostic procedures, clinical diagnostic aids, and additional instrumental diagnostic assessment.
